Verbena 
VERBENA 
Verbenas are the most popular and satisfac¬ 
tory bedding plants in cultivation. Their 
heads of brilliantly colored flowers are 
borne in constant succession from June until 
frost. The flowers are large and splendid 
for cutting. 
To secure early plants the seed should be sown 
in the greenhouse or hot-bed in February or 
March and the seedlings transplanted to the 
open border in May. 
Seeds may be sown in the open border when 
all danger from frost is passed. Oz. *4 oz. Pkt.
